marcus, the 01035/01036 consoles are the older models and have 4 usb modes. apparently acurite got rid of the usb modes with the 02064 (replacement for the problematic 02032), and now with the 01535 (replacements for the 01035/01036?). be glad that you have a console with no usb mode - the ones with usb mode default to mode 2 (no comms), so if you ever get a power failure with one of those you must manually punch buttons before you get data again. the 5-in-1 reports station pressure, then the console applies some algorithm to get barometric pressure. weewx just uses the value directly from the sensor. apparently acurite's algorithm can take up to 2 weeks to settle down. take a look at the comments in bin/weewx/drivers/acurite.py for more details. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
